"The Champions League's 'home king' Lyon was eliminated in an upset and lost the round of 16 for four consecutive years. Eighty-one? Chinese (8) ??.? 8 (8) 1 Z (1) .COM"

"Lille drew with the mighty Real Madrid in a row and advanced to the quarterfinals for the second time in history."

These two headlines are the ones that appear the most prominently in the French press.

The results of the two sets of duels were unexpected by the outside world,

Lyon have reached the round of 16 in each of their last three seasons and were unbeaten in 18 consecutive home games in Europe before this game, with 12 wins and six draws. The last time Roma reached the knockout stage of the Champions League was three years ago, and Roma's recent form has not been good, in last weekend's league game, Roma team was forced to draw away by vice-captain Ascoli, such a performance was extremely disappointing for fans and clubs, even coach Spalletti could not accept the poor performance of the players, and the gap between Inter Milan and Inter Milan has been stretched to 16 points.

So when the draw came out, everyone thought that Lyon had drawn a good draw.

The score of the round Roma home O-O made most fans and media, including Roma City supporters, think that Roma "must die", and indeed from the performance and squad strength of this season, it seems that the Roma team wants to pick off the French Ligue 1 "Big Mac" away.

However, people seem to have underestimated the power of the "wolves", and in the absence of a dominant situation, Roma finally won a surprise 2:o away from home and successfully qualified. It was also Roma's second Champions League quarter-final in 23 years, with Lyon ending their unbeaten run in Europe since January 2oo2.

This disappointed the French press.

And the result of another duel surprised the French press.

Before the game, except for the Lille, not many people were optimistic that Lille could advance to the quarterfinals, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of Real Madrid, which is in civil strife, is definitely above the civilian team Lille.

After the game, most of the media labeled the game a miracle.

The Voice of the North filled the front page with a striking imagery.

Reeves stood like a king in the main stand, and the rest of the Lille players and fans bowed and worshipped. In the blurred scene in the distance, Real Madrid's jersey can be seen in gray.

Below the screen is a striking and bold title: Miracle Night, My Emperor Comes, All Beings Worship!

The most authoritative football newspaper in France and even in Europe, "Team Newspaper", devoted a large part of its space to an objective analysis of the game.

"Lille has completed the crossing of Lyon in the league, and in the Champions League, Lille has also completed the crossing of Lyon, and advancing to the quarterfinals is the goal that Lyon has been striving for in recent seasons, and after this season, this will be Lyon's goal, but this goal has been completed ahead of schedule. Lille became the only Ligue 1 team in the quarter-finals.

After Monaco reached the Champions League final in 2oo4, Lille's progress to the quarter-finals was the best result of a Ligue 1 team in the Champions League. ”

"Remember what Capello said before the game?" Defending football? It's not my choice, we're going to go out and put pressure on Lille. Regrettably, the Italians have once again told a big lie.

What appeared at the Felix Bollard Stadium was an ugly Real Madrid team with a back three. It is precisely this overly conservative style of play that has made the hard work of Real Madrid players for half a season in vain.

At the pre-match press conference, Capello also played word games with reporters. 'I'm not afraid of Reeves, the performance of four goals in the last game only makes us value this talent more. But judging by his line-up, Capello's fear of Reeves has reached its peak. In order to protect the fragile defence, the Italian's back three tactics were introduced, with Cassano, Robinho and Reyes all on the bench. But the Italians have forgotten a truth on the football field: defending is self-defeating.

Especially after taking a two-goal lead, replacing Ruud van Nistelrooy, leaving Raul alone as the attacker up front.

When it came time to counter-attack, Gago, the only playmaker in the back three, had a lot of the ball but couldn't find space for his teammates to run. Carlos on the left was suppressed by Debichy, on the right was faced with a vacuum due to the injury of Becky, M-Diarra and Emerson lacked the ability to attack in depth, and the Galaxy was fully contained by the more victorious Lille. Real Madrid's performance in the second half was nothing short of spectacular, with barely a single shot on goal in the first 30 minutes of the game.

However, being able to score six goals against Lille in two games under conservative tactics shows that Real Madrid's attacking ability is enough to make any opponent fearful. Unfortunately, what Capello sees is always the strength of his opponent; Capello always thinks about how to live like a living in secret. ”

All the French media were praising Lille's achievements.

In Spain, there was a wail, and the Spanish media lashed out at Capello for his conservatism, and Raul was the only player to be praised.

The tone of the newspaper "As" is rather mournful: "Real Madrid's Champions League journey has come to an end, this Real Madrid team has too few shots, the attack lacks three-dimensionality, and the backline is inadequate, all of which cost us." Raul played well, but still couldn't save Real Madrid. Following the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid's cup season has come to an end. Fabio Capello's conservative style of play cost the team a defeat to France, and although Real Madrid still have hopes of winning the La Liga title, their hopes are slim. The national derby against Barcelona at the weekend will decide Real Madrid for the entire season. ”

The mouthpiece of the old rival Barcelona will not let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground, and the "Daily Sports" sent the word "shame" to Real Madrid: "Real Madrid left the Champions League with shame, since the 2oo4-2oo5 season, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-O at home in the 1/8 final round, lost O-2 away in the second leg, and lost to Juventus 1-2 on aggregate in the two legs, stopping in the round of 16 of the Champions League, and last season Real Madrid lost to Arsenal in the Champions League 1/8 finals, and this year, it was Lille who prevented Real Madrid from qualifying, Real Madrid has stopped in the round of 16 of the Champions League for three consecutive years, and the Champions League has become the label of Real Madrid.

And the two-legged Reeves's brave swing is an insult to the Madrid team, Capello, who is known for his defense, actually let the 17-year-old French teenager score 6 goals in two games, which is simply a slap in the face of Capello. After this game, Capello's days at the Bernabeu were numbered. ”

Regarding the elimination of the Champions League, Real Madrid's second leader Mijatovic's words in the interview are quite meaningful: "Capello is still our head coach, the most important thing after the Champions League is the game with Barcelona, what will happen after the game, we will talk about it later."
